Ian Lance Taylor's Response to “Go Is Google's Language”

Google’s takeover of deja news and its formation into groups.google.com was always a mess, but it seems to have got even worse. Now it’s at the point I can’t access the article on iOS safari.

First it forced me to log on. Ok I did that. After which the redirects lost the deep link, so I reached a generic landing page. I tried going back but there were more redirects which made that difficult. I finally came back to HN and clicked the link again. Then a spinner came up but didn’t load. A few reloads later and I got a few characters but nothing useful.

What a mess.

I had the same experience, but never actually got the groups page to load.

Hey googlers remember a cool little thing called the URI? Can we make that just work again without all this session/auth nonsense wrapped around everything? I am not interested in your accounts.

You have a problem with the browser.

It should display correctly on the 10-year old webkit engine.

This works fine without javascript.

Same here... I feel like I am in some sort of nostalgic jQuery mobile museum.
